Our Mission

Although no undergraduate degree is offered in Engineering Mathematics, the department is responsible for delivering all core mathematics and programming courses to the undergraduate students in the Faculty of Engineering. Additionally, the department provides grading and teaching assistantships to dozens of students from a wide array of programs within the faculty and beyond. Our faculty members manage their individual research programs, and offer research opportunities for undergraduate and graduates students as well as for postdoctoral fellows. The faculty members are also engaged in diverse professional and community service.

Our Goals

The department is committed to fostering a community of learning that is welcoming, inclusive, engaging, and aimed at the highest academic accomplishments. To this end, we affirm that the mental and physical well-being of our community, especially of our students, is of utmost importance. Engineering potential is independent of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, religious beliefs, political views and socio-economic background. We are thus committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity among our students, postdoctoral fellows, instructors, faculty and staff members.
